My Parents Still Hit Me If I Do Something Wrong. Is It Right That They Should Be Able To Do That?

My parents do that to me too. Mostly my mom. If I forget to take out the trash from my room or something like that she starts hitting me and gives me a LONG lecture. One time I got a c in my math class and when my mom found out she went crazy. She gave me a bruise on my leg. And my dad is worse but he doesnt hit me as much as my mom. Once my dad was buying me and my sisters lunch and he decided to go to subway which I didnt mind at all. He ordered my sandwich with mustard and I HATE mustard and he knows that! But anyway he didnt tell me that it had mustard and so I took a bite of my sandwich and I almost threw up so I spit it out and told him I didnt want to eat anymore. He looked really pissed so instead I took off the mustard with a napkin and and ate the sandwich. But when we got home he was reeeeaaaaaalllllyyyyyyy mad at me that he started choking me... I was really scared and my sisters started screaming to stop but he finally did. And he also did that to my sister once too. My mom reeaaalllyyy abuses my older sister. She hit her with a rifle once. But not a real one. She uses rifles for colorguard. Its basically flag twirling for the band. And she also pinches us so hard that we start bleeding sometimes. I told my teacher once about my mom when I was in 3rd grade on accident because my mom used to check our homework and do it with us and go over the lessons and all that but whenever I didnt get something she'd start hitting me until I got the right answer. So I accidentally told my teacher about this once and I made a scene in class when I really didnt understand this one lesson. I didnt know what she was going to do but in the middle of the night this lady comes in the house and says shes a social security worker and that she was going to check us to see if we had bruises or anything like that. So she did but she didnt find anything big (she would have if she came earlier) so she gave me and my sisters her card and left. My mom was FURIOUS when the lady left and I didnt get any sleep that night. Ever since then I keep that ladys card somewhere where my mom can NEVER find it. Sorry about telling all of this to you. I just wanted to talk about it and let it out....

It is wrong, it is considered child abuse and they should go to jail. They could, just call the police

When you say 'still' do you mean you are eighteen, or you are now thirteen or thirty?  Anyway, if you are under eighteen, physical violence against you could be considered child abuse, whereas the physical violence against you should be considered as an assault and battery.  It is worth remembering that this is 'tried and tested' way of rearing children, unfortunately, it is worth remembering that it teaches people that violence and the threat of violence is a great way to get what you want.  What kind of message is that to teach your children.

I would not allow anyone to raise their hand against my child, I would also teach them to defend themselves so that they could prevent it from happening.  It is important in a world that still thinks that might and strength equal the right to as they wish, please seeHERE for an excellent example.

It is wrong.  Tell them in no uncertain terms you won't stand for it any longer, then tell a teacher, a friend's parent or someone you trust.

That happens to me too, I am 15 and my dad especially, hits me. He is so strict with me, and anything that he doesnt like me doing, he hits me. I am fed up with it. The hits he gives does leave marks and bruises. I hate him. He doesnt listen to me either, every time I try to talk with him about something he doesnt like, he starts yelling at me which then leads to more hitting. He calls me stupid and tells me that there is something wrong with me or that I am a witch, I hate it. My mom doesnt do anything about it. She just tells my dad to quieten down.

It happens to me but in my family its considered okay. I think that most of Hispanic families are like this. It is wrong but in way your parents have no choice but to hit you for your bad actions sometimes.

Depends on what age you are.
If you are under 18, it could be child abuse-especially if it's severe. However, in some contexts, as in, different cultures, sometimes hitting a child is considered OK. From my personal viewpoint, it's never alright. It teaches the child that physical violence is the only way to get what s/he wants...is that how children should be taught?

If you are over 18, it could be considered physical assault-especially if the hitting is severe enough to cause injury.
